Looking to buy or sell PPE?
Access to PPE (personal protective equipment) is one of independent business owners’ top concerns as governments look to reopen the economy. That’s why we created a Facebook group to connect business owners buying and selling PPE. (Don’t have a Facebook account? Email us at [email protected] for support.)
Visit our PPE Marketplace
Some provinces are also making information about accessing PPE available. We’ve compiled links you can use to find more suppliers in your province.
